Please contact the Registrar, Bernadette Lees, via BPL@stpaulsschool.org.uk or 0208 746 5493 if you have difficulty paying the registration fee as you may be entitled to financial assistance.

All applicants will be required to sit a written exam. Successful boys will be invited back for half-day group assessments, after which offers will be made. A reference will be sought from the Head of a boy’s current school. Boys are accepted to ¿ìÉ«ÊÓƵ’s Juniors on the understanding that ¿ìÉ«ÊÓƵ’s will be their first choice of senior school.
